Italian Brazilians

I think this article should be more democratic. It should describe the real brazilian population, composed by indigenous people, brown, black, asians, middle east and europeans (mainly portuguese). We can´t ignore that Brazil has the one of the largest italian settlement of the world, but we should show pictures that reflect the diversity of the brazilian population.

This page need more information and pictures about culture and urban life! not more nature!

You must upload pics like São Paulo or Rio de janeiro Theathers, Curitiba, Porto Alegre Urban pics, Minas gerais Church, Paulista Avenue, Rio de Janeiro dowtown, Recife etc... this page is very small if you compare with Chile, Argentina or Mexico pages, please more details and modern pics about urban life and culture not only Nature! check out pages of Brazilians cities to you see how you need improve! they are modern and almost complete!

Semi-protected edit request on 10 February 2017

The Photo that shows the impeached president Dilma should be removed when the page is about brazil and not about someone especially when that person made 12 million people loose their job by irresponsible acts and corruption! The photo must be replaced as it is talking about Globo the second largest Tv network of the world by something similar, could be the JN (National Journal) 177.40.1.153 (talk) 04:03, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Rousseff was head of state and an important politician in Brazil's history (regardless of each of us liking her or not), and the picture of her being interviewed at the TV studio is a valid illustration of Globo network's influence and relationship with brazilian politics when it brought a head of state for a live interview in the most watched prime time newscast.}} Fbergo (talk) 11:35, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong claim

The claim that Brazil is the only country that officially speaks Portuguese on America is wrong. Uruguai also recognises Portuguese as one of its official languages after Spanish. 187.79.216.126 (talk) 12:35, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So fix it? Saturnalia0 (talk) 13:16, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Which is the source for that? Cambalachero (talk) 13:26, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If someone provides a source, please add it to Uruguay also (where Portuguese as a language is already present). Saturnalia0 (talk) 13:40, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note, however, that one thing is the presence of people who speak a given language, and another one is an official language. A reference for this point should say that Portuguese is legally acknowledged as an official language, not simply that there are many Uruguayans fluent in Portuguese.

Rare drawings of Brazilian animals by 17th-century Dutch painter Frans Post now on Wikimedia Commons

Frans Post (1612-1680) was a Dutch painter from Haarlem belonging to the Dutch School. Between 1636-1644, he received a commission from John Maurice of Nassau, then governor of Brazil, to travel to Brazil and document its people, nature and landscape. During his time in Brazil, Post made drawings and sketches of animals, which he probably used as studies for his paintings. Thirty-four of these drawings were recently discovered in the Noord-Hollands Archief. The archive has graciously made the digitised drawings available for re-use on Wikimedia Commons.

Images in section religion

Hello @Chronus:, it would be nice to see that everyone assumes good faith in everyones edits. Also you in mine. I took the image of the statue exactly due to the fact that it is a well known monument. It does not get clear to me why this is a drawback. Furthermore Christianity is without a doubt the only major religion in Brazil. Islam and Judaism form far less than <1% of the population and do not play any significant role at all. That is why using an image showing a building or religious monument of one of these two minor religions will portray a distorted view in this article. That is the reasoning behind the edits. I insist in either excluding the image of the Jewish site or reinstating the prior double image with the Christ Statue. Greetings. --Joobo (talk) 07:35, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I ask you Chronus and others to engage into discussion as this is the way one deals with such things in WP. obrigado.--Joobo (talk) 06:18, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

About today editions in the "Early Republic" Section:

In order to let the article lighter, besides have deleted the excess of references for a same stretch, I repositioned the reference about "League of Nations" in the 2nd paragraph, which is the one referring to the foreign policy of the 1st Brazilian republic (which came after its 1st military civilian dictatorship - not to be confused with "Old Republic" or 1st Brazilian Republican Period, of which Both are part); where there already was also a link referring to Brazil during the WWI.
As well as I deleted another duplicate link (the one of Encilhamento), which is already linked in the 1st paragraph (as economic crisis) of the edited section.
In this way, the foreign policies of both phases, the 1st Brazilian Republic Period and the 2nd Brazilian Civilian Military Dictatorship (Vargas Era), are now split and positioned in their respective paragraphs.

I would like to leave this section open to all editors who find it necessary to justify duplicate link edits, in order to prevent possible war edits. Unbaratocha (talk) 22:08, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
